Right, see also (info "(calc) Basic Operations on Units") or
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/calc/Basic-Operations-on-Units.html>,
which has exactly this example conversion:
The ‘u c’ command treats temperature units (like ‘degC’ and ‘K’) as
relative temperatures. For example, ‘u c’ converts ‘10 degC’ to ‘18
degF’: A change of 10 degrees Celsius corresponds to a change of 18
degrees Fahrenheit. To convert absolute temperatures, you can use the
‘u t’ (‘calc-convert-temperature’) command. The value on the stack must
be a simple units expression with units of temperature only. This
command would convert ‘10 degC’ to ‘50 degF’, the equivalent temperature
on the Fahrenheit scale.
